Failure to Detect Prostate Cancer Deadly Mistake

Over the past year, our firm has handled several cases that involve physicians who failed to properly diagnose prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. If found early enough, it can be easily treated. However, if prostate cancer is not found and properly treated before it metastasizes outside the prostate, it is likely to be a death sentence. We recommend that every man, particularly if they are over 50, have a discussion with their primary care physician about the efficacy and appropriateness of prostate testing.

Work injuries are life-changing and still all too common in America. Injured workers wonder if they will ever return to work, how they will pay for extended care and rehabilitation, and who will pay the bills while they recover.
